Cecil

Mono.Cecil is a library to generate and inspect programs and libraries in the ECMA CIL form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To put it simply, you can use Cecil to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Analyze .NET binaries using a simple and powerful object model, without having to load assemblies to use Reflection.
|
||
|
|
* Modify .NET binaries, add new metadata structures and alter the IL code.
|
||

Cecil has been around since 2004 and is [widely used](https://github.com/jbevain/cecil/wiki/Users) in the .NET community. If you're using Cecil, or depend on a framework, project, or product using it, please consider [sponsoring Cecil](https://github.com/sponsors/jbevain/).
